OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.

OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.

A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.
The Adventure of the Cardboard Box really is one of the least Holmesy Holmes stories isn’t it? Even a dramatic reading doesn’t stop it being as dull as the title suggests.
For an analogy, imagine the challenge was to write a piece about the history and experience of autism, but you had to do it in 20 minutes using single-syllable words and no adjectives or editing. I’ll still be watching again next week though 😆
Anyway, we obviously all hated it so… see you next week everyone? #GameOfWool
The cast-off contestant is welcome to come to mine and enjoy some socially awkward crafting with no time limit. I bet they’d make a cracking Fair Isle given appropriate materials #GameOfWool
I’ll give it one thing, the hour has flown by. Though that might be because I’ve been laughing at how disgusted all the viewers on here are #GameOfWool
Oh dear, she mentioned the c-word. She’s about to be taken outside and shot. #GameOfWool

#GameofWool All these reality craft shows are secretly project management shows. You should come out with a Prince2 cert and your own Gannt chart stencil.

Am watching #GameOfWool but not sure whether I can cope with a gentle, individual, reflective activity being turned into a sort of team working time stressed nightmare

this The Apprentice style table pitch for socially anxious people is killing me. Give it the opposite of a BAFTA. #GameOfWool
Fucking hell, talk about targeted advertising - a folk song for a cremation company during #GameOfWool
Years ago a friend said to me, “If they do a knitting version of Sewing Bee you should enter.” I scoffed at the idea of such a show. I feel justified. #GameOfWool
Imagine taking your comfort activity, that you do to relax with a bit of music or telly and a cuppa, and making you sit on on an uncomfortable settee and do it while talking to strangers for 12 hours. Torture. #GameOfWool
This has properly made me laugh

I am gunning for the German Colin Robinson already #GameofWool
very excited for Tom Daley's Cursed Knitting Bake Off #GameOfWool
Honestly I’d rather they gave them 2 days so they could use lighter weight yarn. It’s not a promising start. #GameOfWool

That last paragraph...
Because it’s cis kids.
The NHS will quite casually give cis kids whatever treatment they need, even PBs👇
No trials. No concerns about side effects. No moral panic.

All I want is to live in a country where this story isn’t the 80th most alarming news story of the day
A truckload of rhesus monkeys from Tulane university escaped after a crash. The university warned they’re highly aggressive toward humans and infected with hepatitis C, herpes, and COVID.

Absolutely. Unless they edited stuff out they had more negative things to say about his.

All the lyrics to 'Rasputin' are funny but I love 'it was a shame how he carried on'. It sounds like something your gran would say about a disgraced quiz-show host.

Barker called me up one night and without preamble said "It's opinions, not onions. Not onions. This is Clive Barker. I've been trying to track down and stop this error in editions for decades. OPINIONS."
(It wasn't until Jeff and Ann VanderMeer were working on their anthology The Weird that I learned that "onions" is a typo. Either Jeff or Ann mentioned to me that Barker asked them to fix the typo that had haunted the story in countless reprintings, incl in their own earlier antho The New Weird.)
